Hosting Shad Canada program a ‘big deal’ for Sudbury university
Laurentian University played host to 55 of Canada’s brightest teens for the month of July, as the university participated in the Shad Canada program.
Officially, Laurentian first hosted Shad in 2021, but due to the pandemic, the program was virtual last year. This is the first time the Shad students have physically been on Laurentian’s campus. Those participating in the program “tend to be very good students,” he added, and “they often have other things that they're really good at as well, whether it's sport, music or governance. It's a diverse group, we are trying to give them a transformational experience.”
“At some level, maybe we're developing the next generation of scientists, but really what we're trying to do is help these students grow in whatever direction they want to be growing in, whether it's thinking about science, or whether it's thinking about other forms of research,” Merritt said. Govind said her favourite Shad activity has been visiting Laurentian’s School of Architecture, where the students were tasked with designing a tower. Another participant, Vadim Melnik of Toronto, said he’s loved the whole Shad experience.“And not only that, but the simulation of a university experience in general, because it's definitely a change of pace from a more familiar setting like, like back in Toronto.
